Pet commands not working

[Crazyloop]

I have a lvl 5 enchanter on Teal. It's not just macros, pet commands not working. The only one that works is /pet health. It's strange because if I enter something like /petmycrackedstaff I get 'That is not a valid command. Please use /help.' However if I enter /pet attack absolutely nothing happens. I'm not using any skins and I have the latest patch. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem with my enchanter - the only /pet command that works is /pet health - all the others that I have tried (attach, back off, guard here, follow me, sit, stand, taunt on, taunt off) do nothing - I have a necro and the same macro commands work as expected.

I was wondering if there was something special about the enchanter pet that it didn't obey commands, it is so long since I played an enchanter on SOE that I can't recall the mechanics (back then it was primarily to make jewelery).

But I'm pretty sure that there is something wrong - I tried a fresh install of Titanium and added the P99 latest patches (52B) and confirmed the necro's pet commands worked and the enchanter's still didn't.

It gets a bit hard to play if your pet only attacks when you get hit - and then won't switch targets or back off on request.

I presume it is not a universal problem or a lot more folks would be complaining - maybe there is a something from a previous patch that stops it breaking - I didn't play on P1999 for a few months so missed a few patches and then caught up with the latest when Teal was launched - but each patch is complete so only the latest should be necessesary (I believe).

I can't see where to download previous P99 patches to try a clean install and then patch sequentially to bring it up to date - just in case there was something missing from 52B.

Enchanter pets have never listened to commands, at least until much later in the game when you got the aa's that allowed you to command your summoned pet. Charmed pets work as you would expect, just not the summoned animation pet

So I googled. :) Apparently there's a p1999 reddit, lol. Somebody else was asking the same question. Answer was that Enchanter pets do not obey commands, they are helpers only.

Thank you - I had no memory of the pet not taking commands (but it was 20 years ago!)
